Common questions

London FAQs

How often does emergency lighting need testing in London commercial buildings?+
Monthly flick tests (simulated failure check) and an annual three-hour duration test are the legal minimum under BS 5266. Most insurers and lease agreements demand written logs. We provide both the testing and the documentation, with automatic reminders so you don't miss compliance windows.
Do you install emergency lighting in older London buildings?+
Yes. Victorian conversions, 1930s industrial units and post-war blocks all need careful cable routing to avoid damaging original fabric. We've retrofitted emergency lighting into listed buildings, basement car parks and timber-framed warehouses without ripping the place apart.
What's included in a fixed-price emergency lighting installation?+
Site survey, luminaire supply, cable runs, testing on completion and certification. If you need addressable systems, self-test fittings or integration with fire alarms, we price that upfront. No hourly rates, no vague estimates.
Can you handle emergency lighting for multi-site London portfolios?+
Absolutely. We manage annual testing schedules for clients with offices, warehouses and retail units scattered across London and Essex. One point of contact, consistent standards, centralised reporting.
